SECTION I - PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Street Transportation Department (Streets) inspects eight earthen dams in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve annually for the Parks and Recreation Department. Streets previously did an evaluation of the Papago dams for the Parks Department in or around 2009. Subsequent site visits demonstrate that conditions currently existing have not been addressed since that inspection. A site visit in 2022 was conducted to log the current condition of the dams, however much of the structures were not directly observable due to the variety of vegetation overgrowth and numerous undocumented alterations to the dams and the reservoirs that have occurred over the last 90 years. SECTION II - SCOPE OF WORK A detailed, formal inspection is crucial to determine the true current condition of the structures and catalog the maintenance items required to safely operate the structures. Given the daily foot traffic of visitors, and the cultural and economic significance of the Phoenix Zoo, the formal inspections should be urgently done to understand the current condition of the structures.
